div class="markup_d6076c messageContent_ec86aa""Morning, Rudy, are you doing well?" strongA soft voice called out to the vee while he made his way towards the shower. It was Kamui./strong "Are you ready to head to Lumiose today? We still need to set up our trip to Paldea." strongRudy stopped in his tracks and turned over to her./strong "I dunno yet, sis...

div class="markup_d6076c messageContent_ec86aa"strongAfter a quick yet silent shower, Rudy returns to his room and dries himself before putting on his scarf and a small bag. He would exit the now-turned house, getting greeted by Arvis and Riley, who were busy renovating the front, followed by Scarlet, who was tending to some crops. Rudy waves to them all as he makes his way through the small road that leads right out into Santalune Forest. /strong/div

div class="markup_d6076c messageContent_ec86aa""Yeah, like always." strongRudy's voice trailed off as he put the money on the counter and went to take a seat, with Lucky bringing over said sandwich, but he didn't leave right away./strong "Say, kid, you've been looking mopey the last few times I've seen you come in. Is something eating up at you?" strongHe asked as he took a seat on the side while Rudy bit down on his food./strong "I just have a lot on my mind... but I don't want to dump it all on you,"/div

It's been on me for a while now." strongLucky would sigh and run his head again, unsure of how to approach this./strong "Kid, it's never easy to lose someone, you know?
